Abstract: The field of coordination polymers and metal–organic frameworks has to date focused on the crystalline state. More than 60,000 crystalline metal–organic framework structures, formed from highly ordered arrays of metal nodes connected by organic ligands in at least one dimension, have been identified. However, interest in non-crystalline systems is growing, with amorphous solids, glasses and liquids identified as possessing similar metal–ligand bonding motifs to their crystalline cousins. In this Review, we provide an overview of the structural design, properties and potential applications of non-crystalline coordination polymers and metal–organic frameworks. In particular, we highlight recent reports of glasses that result from the melt quenching of the liquid states of these topical classes of materials. Finally, we provide a perspective on the future of the non-crystalline domain of coordination polymers and metal–organic frameworks. There is increasing interest in the liquid, glass and amorphous solid states of coordination polymers and metal–organic frameworks. In this Review, we discuss the background and terminology of this emerging field, categorize example structures and provide an outlook for the future direction of the field.

Anion and solvent controlled growth of crystalline and amorphous zinc(ii) coordination polymers and a molecular complex.
TL;DR: In this article, a controlled bottom-up synthesis of amorphous coordination polymers with tailored metal coordination is presented, which can be obtained by self-assembly of Zn(II) with terephthalate (tph2−) as linker and the enantiopure chelating ligand S-(1,2)-bis(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)ethanol (L).

Formation of glasses from liquids and biopolymers.
TL;DR: The onset of a sharp change in ddT( is the Debye-Waller factor and T is temperature) in proteins, which is controversially indentified with the glass transition in liquids, is shown to be general for glass formers and observable in computer simulations of strong and fragile ionic liquids, where it proves to be close to the experimental glass transition temperature.
